Harmonic has broadened its partnership with Spectrum to deploy the company’s cOS vCMTS and a broader set of network and operational tools across Spectrum’s entire service area, alongside the deployment of DOCSIS 4.0 Unified Pebble-2 RPDs. The expansion aims to enable Spectrum to offer DOCSIS 4.0 services and provide a robust foundation for future DOCSIS developments, including spectrum expansion and more advanced management tools.
“Our partnership with Harmonic brings field-proven excellence, reliability and intelligence to the network,” said Magesh Srinivasan, Executive Vice President, Network Technology Services at Spectrum. “This technology is enabling our network evolution, which allows us to continue delivering exceptional services that will adapt to our customers’ future needs.”
Harmonic notes that the upgraded solution delivers several key advances for Spectrum, including:
- Faster, more reliable internet: DOCSIS 4.0 and beyond will enable symmetrical and multi-gigabit services, backed by Harmonic’s noise-mitigation techniques to ensure higher-speed delivery.
- Outstanding broadband experiences: Low-latency performance supports smoother online gaming and high-quality video conferencing.
- Superior network visibility and reliability: An Open API for streaming telemetry via the cOS platform provides real-time visibility and performance data to operators across the network.
“A true industry leader committed to advancing broadband”
“It is an honor to partner with Spectrum, a true industry leader in broadband innovation,” said Nimrod Ben-Natan, President and CEO of Harmonic. “Through our expanded collaboration and shared commitment to exceptional subscriber experience, we are excited to support their next-generation broadband ambitions.”
Harmonic ranks as a market-share leader in cable broadband equipment, virtual CMTS and DAA, according to Dell’Oro Group. Its cOS platform powers next-generation services for more than 38 million CPE devices worldwide, supporting operators across North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia.
